Loreena McKennitt - The Mummers' Dance Reaction

[@McDevittMike]

I saw her live once and it was the most magical show I've ever seen. She's from Manitoba, , Canada

[@samgreenbergart]

I saw her live as well, and it was a magical and unforgettable night.

[@jeri-annabbott1896]

I have seen her live five times, and they were some of the best concerts I have ever seen. Incredible voice, incredible music.

[@Rackelhane]

Loreena is amazing! I was there in The wonderful palace of the Alhambra when Loreena performed there in sep. 2006. A night to remember.

[@Maria01140]

Oh I wish I had the chance to be there in Alhambra . One the her most amazing performances . I’ve seen her twice.

[@wickafaae]

I was so in love with this song as a child in the 90s. They played it on the radio right alongside N’Sync and Destiny’s Child🤣. I would wait all day for it to come on. Now that I’m older i understand why

[@Maria01140]

Loreena McKennitt is my favorite artist and she always will be❤️

[@masonsteele1674]

First heard this on Coast to Coast AM many years ago. It's been a favorite ever since!

[@kentclark6420]

[@Icurious14u]

A girl gav me a mixed tape of Loreena and as I was driiving to work at night I was just blown away by her sound.....was amazing and been a fan since....Glad you discovered her as well....She's amazing.

[@DancingCoder]

😁 nice!

[@MichaelReiter]

Great to see a reaction to the wonderful Loreena. She has many beautiful, magical songs. Stolen Child, Caravanserei, The Mystic's dream and Bonny Swans are some of my favorites.

[@DancingCoder]

Thanks Michael - I have added those to my list :)

[@jessicahimmel7867]

Amazing song, amazing artist 💕

[@Geralt26]

Nice. I love Loreena McKennit folk music. Never saw or try to find reaction for her music. Nice to see such. Will watch in a moment.

[@DancingCoder]

:) I liked it!

[@Geralt26]

@@DancingCoder Just watched your reaction with short delay - nice. In case of Loreena I always listened to album versions of song as it, but she has great lives (just preferred album ones for more clarity/details). I found her after I interested in celtic/irish folk music after old Robin Hood tv series show with clannad music and then I searched for others such bands/singers :) ). Anyway it is rather niche music which I like, it is so nice and relaxing to listen. And I generally like less mainstream music (but of course also like some mainstream too if they are really good). Have a nice day.

[@vahauser51]

Loreena was my favorite singer in the world for over 15 years. She is still my #2 (Diana is my new #1). She is amazing and has almost 40 years of fabulous music! This song is taken from her concert at the Alhambra. Every single song from this concert is 10/10! Her backing musicians are world class, and so is she! I have over four playlists of Loreena. I love her!

[@DancingCoder]

Sweet! Thanks :)

[@Shastasnow]

Awesome! I am learning some of her songs on violin. Very fun. Makes you want to play for dance along for sure.

[@vijandrav.6095]

I saw her live in concert a few years ago. That was a great concert. I like her a lot. And this must be from her Alhambra concert. I have the DVD it is amazing.

[@David-su4is]

Nice find, love this lady and her motley band of bards. Been listening to her music for years now. Love it.

[@maritapia7558]

Loreena ❤❤❤ she is amazing and the musicians, all of them, fui a su concierto cuando.vino a mi pais (Chile), that day was magical.

@@DancingCoder only a happy face? 😢

[@DancingCoder]

Sorry, I try to respond to as many comments as I can so that was better than it being missed completely right? 😋 I bet the concert was really good, I'm looking forward to hearing more of her 😁

[@maritapia7558]

@@DancingCoder try to listen «the old ways» «caravanserai» two of my favourite songs, thank for your answer 🤗

[@DancingCoder]

Cool thank you :) I've added to my list. Feel free to nudge me if it doesnt come up quick enough 😉

[@ssshadowwolf6762]

I’m so glad you’re reacting to her! “ Santiago “ is great as is all of her work . I’d love for her , Lisa Gerrard and Dimash to collaborate. Both do middle eastern and Asian -Celtic blends . It would be epic ! I discovered her in the early 90’s. She is amazing . The album “ The Mask and the Mirror “, “ The Visit “ and the rest of her albums incorporate so much . I want to dance in the woods to “ The Old ways “

[@DancingCoder]

:) looking forward to hearing more

[@elisifuentes6551]

Omg… Loreena… been a long time since i listened to her. I like this song a lot! Might even have a request for you 😊

[@elisifuentes6551]

Lady of Shalott, and The Highwaymen… i will try to find good links.

You should do the highway man by her

[@mikerasmusson8749]

Mummering is ancient, some sources say Greece, others say Egypt, It found its way to England and Ireland in the 19th century. BTW, Loreena is Canadian.

[@rosareis8191]

Bruno, maybe Portuguese? because the video subtitles are written in Portuguese and that filled me with pride and left a tear in the corner of my eye. Beautiful voice Loreena. Thanks Bruno e Brabs😀

[@DancingCoder]

Its a good one isnt it? :)

[@rosareis8191]

@@DancingCoder Good morning, it's really good to start my day, which I hope will be smooth. So I wish you a calm day too.One of these days I ask you to listen to a Portuguese song with us😀

[@DancingCoder]

All good here thanks yeh :) - I added Havasi to my list. What else do you recommend?

[@rosareis8191]

@@DancingCoder Fado, traditional Portuguese music. The problem is that I can't find subtitles, the solution is to send you the lyrics separately. What do you think? kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnSbaYKvr51-ntU&ab_channel=Mariza

[@DancingCoder]

Ill add to list, I can get the lyrics ready for when I am about to listen :)

[@pcankar]

Please check out live version of Caravanserai by Loreena McKennitt. A real experience.

[@grogueQ]

I was getting a serious Spinal Tap vibe in this one. Almost expected to see a mini Stonehenge lowered to the stage.

[@DancingCoder]

Haha that would have been epic!

[@jvlm3091]

She's Canadian: part Irish ; part Scottish

[@donkunes8630]

Loreena traced her Celtic roots back to the Indo-Europeans to a time of worship of the elements, nature and mysticism

[@BarnicleBillable]

Are you saying she is coloring her hair and not a Celtic? Glad you enjoyed. Looked up some of her other stuff when you get a day.

[@BarnicleBillable]

Can be one heck of a rabbit hole.
